PEN IV
Design:
Located on the west coast of the Antiparos, Pen IV enjoys views of the Aegean and the island’s unspoilt interior. Designed by Swiss studio AFGH, the house’s tiered form is built into the landscape and appears to flow down the hillside. A versatile property, Pen IV’s continuous spaces sit across multiple levels, and provide shade and natural ventilation during the summer, while benefiting from varied perspectives.
Building:
PEN IV consists of a main house and a guest house. The main house is arranged around a central, well-protected courtyard, and offers west-facing communal areas with floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize sunset views. Each of these spaces has its own covered terrace, creating seamless indoor/outdoor living. The 84 sqm courtyard is accessed by a staircase, which can also be used as an open-air cinema. Natural light filters through the courtyard’s roof and walls, creating latticed patterns that add texture to the property’s minimal design.
The main house has four bedrooms including: a 4m high master bedroom with a private courtyard and balcony; and three bedrooms with private terraces and garden access. The subterrain guest house has two further bedrooms, each with their own entrance and private parking.
Outside, an L-shaped pool follows the form of the property’s western corner, and features a spectacular terrace with panoramic views of Antiparos’ coastline. Various lounging areas offer additional outdoor living space. Next to the main courtyard, there is a protected BBQ and outdoor dining area.
Secondary areas are located in the basement of the main house, and include two staff rooms, storage, laundry and linen areas, as well as mechanical areas.

Discover Antiparos
Antiparos is a tiny jewel of an island in the center of the Cyclades. Its location makes it a fantastic base for exploring the nearby islands by boat; while its proximity to Athens, Paros (5 minutes by boat) and Mykonos, makes it easily accessible to international visitors. It has a beautiful and raw landscape, idyllic coves and a buzzing Chora, alongside a rich archaeological heritage, which lend the island a unique vibe. These magnetic qualities draw in a diverse, yet like-minded, international crowd that appreciates its slow rhythms and quality, authentic Greek island living.
